"On February 14th, Barbie's very first runway show hit the stage in Bryant Park. For this history-making occasion, over 50 designers from Diane von Furstenberg to Calvin Klein to Vera Wang created couture tributes to highlight the timelessness of fashion's most fabulous icon.

The show was divided into three thrilling acts: Barbie's past fashions reinterpreted, Barbie's current look as seen through the designers' lens, and the future of fashion imagined.

Each look was totally unique to its individual designer, but all of it was undeniably Barbie™. Cat-eye glasses, poufy prom dresses, lots of hot pink and big hair ruled the stage. To top it off, every outfit was completed with sky-high, strappy Christian Louboutin's, specially designed for the show in Barbie's signature pantone pink.

The hottest moment? For the show's finale, all 51 stunning models strutted back onto the catwalk holding hands with a young Barbie™ Girl who waved back to the cheering audience.

Khloe Kardashian and Jay Z were at a nightclub in NYC a few nights ago, M2, and rumors went wild that the two were creeping. I saw the story, however didn't bother to post it because it was soooo foolish. Anywho Khloe responds quick fast and in a hurry. lol

I have no real words for this story because I really don't want to go there on these young ass h*s. So I will keep my thoughts to myself, however big pimping at sixteen years old is just a damn shame and they should be tried as adults. See you later bye!

(CNN) -- The grandmother of a 16-year-old Arizona girl accused of prostitution -- and recruiting and pimping other teen girls -- said Wednesday she hopes to fight the charges in court.

"I really want to take it to trial," Linda Tye, grandmother of Tatiana Tye told CNN Radio. "She needs to meet her accusers."

Tatiana Tye and a second 16-year-old girl, Jazmine Finley, were indicted earlier this week by a grand jury, Maricopa County, Arizona, prosecutors said in a statement. Although the girls are juveniles, prosecutors released their names and said they will be tried as adults.

Tye is charged with one count of child prostitution and three counts of pandering, or serving as a go-between or liaison for sexual purposes, prosecutors said.

Finley faces nine counts of child prostitution; two counts of receiving earnings of a prostitute; and one count of pandering. All the charges are felonies, prosecutors said.

The two were arrested last week after a five-month investigation, Phoenix police told reporters. Authorities believe Tye and Finley recruited at least five girls, ranging in age from 14 to 17, on the campuses of their high schools, police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill said in a Monday news briefing posted on the Web site of CNN affiliate KTVK.

"We have a situation of two girls, 16 years old, who are, in essence, pimps," Hill said. "And they ran their own brothel."

Police believe the girls had rented an apartment used solely for acts of prostitution, he said.Prosecutors, citing a police probable cause statement, said the teenagers recruited girls by telling them of "all the money they would be making. Additionally, they were told that it was better working for them as opposed to male pimps because they would not get beat up."

Hill said, "I think we were all surprised at, you know, were these 16-year-old girls that were arrested, were they running this business? And the answer is yes, they were."

In a jailhouse interview with KTVK, Tatiana Tye blamed Finley for introducing her to the world of prostitution, and said she was "a follower, not a leader, following whatever Jazmine does, and those were bad things."

She denied recruiting anyone or receiving any money, although she did acknowledge she was scared at times.

"All I'm saying is, before (Finley) came into my life, none of this stuff was going on," Tatiana Tye said. "I don't even know much about prostitution and stuff. I've seen it before, because Jazmine had a pimp."

However, she refused to answer questions about whether she had worked as a prostitute or about the apartment.

KTVK said it attempted to interview Finley, but her guardian failed to show up at the jail to give permission.

Accompanied by her grandmother, Tatiana Tye told reporters she didn't want to talk to them initially, but "then again, I thought about, people need to know the truth. I mean, I would never, ever call myself a pimp or a madam."

Asked what she would say to other teens, she said, "I would just tell them, don't hang out with people that you know are doing bad stuff, because they'll drag you down with them."Linda Tye said she had custody of her granddaughter, who moved in with her after leaving her mother's home.

She said Tatiana Tye "admits to knowing Jazmine, hanging out and being with Jazmine. That she admits to. The rest, she doesn't really want to talk about before she goes to trial and talks to her lawyers."

As of Wednesday, she said, attorneys had only visited her granddaughter briefly, but longer visits are planned.

She said she is worried about Tatiana Tye's health in jail, as she is eating only grapefruit and refuses to drink the water. The girl's younger sister, 13, misses her and hasn't been able to see her, she said.

She told CNN she does not understand how prosecutors can try her granddaughter as an adult.

"I want (people) to know that my little granddaughter, she is a loving person. She smiles all the time ... she's a little confused, but that's no reason, and people shouldn't sit and judge people. I just don't like that. You don't know the facts, you don't know the truth, don't do that," Linda Tye said.

But asked whether she had any advice for others, she said, "Pay attention to your kids. If you're a grandparent, pay attention to your grandchildren, because you never know what they're up to.

Well Sassy Muffins according to AJC.com, which always keeps us very up to date on most REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA bossip, Lisa Wu-Hartwell has filed a petition with the courts. Lisa is requesting a modification of her present parental situation concerning her older two sons with R&B singer Keith Sweat. Lisa is one of my favorites on the show so I am wishing her well on this custody battle. The skinny on the logistics are below.

"The best interest of the minor children will be served by modifying the current custody and visitation provisions to make Mother the primary physical condition of the minor children,” according to the court papers filed with the Superior Court of Fulton County. “Since the time of the Divorce Decree, Mother has remarried, owns a successful business and will provide a stable, loving, and nurturing environment in which she can raise the minor children.”

She is seeking “primary physical custody and joint legal custody with final decision-making on all issues regarding the minor children.” She will “reasonably engage Father in good faith discussions before any final decisions are made concerning the children's welfare.” The two children are Jordan Sweat, age 14, and Justin Sweat, age 11.

If she does get custody, she requests child support as well.

In 2003, Sweat received primary custody of the children. According to the final divorce decree written by Fulton Superior Court judge Cynthia D. Wright, Sweat and Wu Hartwell married in 1992 and had the judge termed at the time an “extremely tumultuous relationship.” Wright wrote that “there is evidence that Father has been violent towards Mother, but no evidence he has ever been violent with any of his children.”

The judge felt the children at the time “lacked structure in their lives, due in substantial part to Mother’s numerous business ventures and frequent trips out of town … Mother has a history of spending money on herself excessively rather than providing for the children … There was some evidence at trial that Mother implicitly participated in robbing Father in the presence of the children. She also took money from Father prior to the initiation of this matter. This behavior causes the Court to question Mother’s maturity and judgment.”

Although Sweat, too, travels frequently, the decree said Sweat's mom helped care for the children. “Father is capable of providing a stable, secure home environment for the boys where their care is not delegated to random third parties,” the judge wrote.

Wu Hartwell has had visitation rights and has said in past interviews she sees her sons frequently. Neither boy was shown on camera or even talked about on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” because Sweat would not give her legal permission to do so. Sweat is never mentioned by name on the show.

Wu Hartwell is currently married to former NFL player Ed Hartwell. They have a child, who we saw on the TV show, which began taping its second season Monday.

Carlos Scott, her publicist, said Wu Hartwell cannot speak on the subject while it’s in the court system. Wu Hartwell said nothing about the custody case on Saturday at her South Dekalb Mall appearance, though she did note that her ex-husband didn’t clear her sons to be on the show."

Just in time for filming of Bravo's money making #1 housewife show the Real Housewives of Altlanta aka BANKHEAD rumors and news are at an all time high. According to Bossip.com Big Poppa has finally filed for divorce and left his wifey. I guess the wife is pretty upset to say it mildly and is pretty much stalking Kim...(I wonder why)**giggles** LIONS, TIGERS, AND BEARS OH MY. Below is the full story.

"Bossip just caught word that Kim Zolciak’s pimp, Lee Najjar (aka. Big Poppa), has left his wife to move in with Kim Z. at the townhouse that HE currently pays for. A source close to Lee’s wife, Kim Najjar, said that she is extremely upset over the situation, and can’t believe that Lee left her for a ”high class prostitute.” Divorce proceedings are supposedly taking place now. There’s no word as to whether or not Lee will be featured on the show, but we can just about guarantee that he will not. Allegedly, Kim is also being sued by her ex-publicist for non-payment of services, and the publicist has taken out a protective order against her for making vicious threats.

In funny news, Nene, who used to strip at Atlanta’s famous Magic City, actually met Kim while she was stripping at Atlanta’s Cheetah club. A Cheetah spectator reached out to Bossip to talk about Kim’s performances. “She used to dress up like a nurse with the name “Barbie.” Her lap dances were pretty good.” Apparently Kim wished that her stage alias reflected her real occupation, which is why she lied about being a RN (registered nurse). Our source confirmed that Kim was a CNA (certified nursing assistant), not a RN.

Our source also went on to say that Sheree has finally found a house and will no longer be homeless. Tameka Foster will NOT be joining the cast.…this season. Most likely due to her complications with her recent liposuction procedure."

Well sweet Jesus, Mary, and Joseph this here Sunday evening. I saw this story the other day and decided against putting it up, however folks keep calling and texting me. So, here is the infamous video of one of my favorite R&B grown men simply being oh too honest. And, too real on his professional and personal relationship with the pretty girl and Diddy's latest BFF, CASSIE. I feel Ryan spoke from the heart and kept it politically correct considering the DIDDYNESS involved. Here's to you R LES it's better to have loved then to have lived a life time without it babe! Congrats on the new cd and engagement if it's true.

TMZ.com got a hold of Rihanna's official and unpretty mugshot after a situation with her boyfriend Chris Brown a few weeks ago. There have been too many reports and accounts that he beat the ish out of her and he's going to jail?! From the photo I don't see all that. And, yes, I do have a Criminal Justice Degree, yet I have pretty much refrained from offering my own two cents, but soon. Skipping right along...

The LAPD is oh so bothered and issued a statement that they have launched a full investigation into the release of this photo...blah blah blah.

Below is a statement issued by the NY Post in reference to the ugly and so yesterday cartoon perhaps making fun of our President. I so don't appreciate the foolishness of the NY Post.

"Wednesday's Page Six cartoon - caricaturing Monday's police shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut - has created considerable controversy.It shows two police officers standing over the chimp's body: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," one officer says.It was meant to mock an ineptly written federal stimulus bill.Period.But it has been taken as something else - as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism.This most certainly was not its intent; to those who were offended by the image, we apologize.However, there are some in the media and in public life who have had differences with The Post in the past - and they see the incident as an opportunity for payback.To them, no apology is due.Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon - even as the opportunists seek to make it something else."

Essence Magazine hosted it's 2nd annual Black Women In Hollywood luncheon. Many of our Hollywood DON DIVA'S showed up looking Oscar worthy and absolutely fabulous. I also want to take the time to wish Taraji all the best this weekend on her nod! I couldn't post all the pictures, however Taraji, Halle Berry, Monique, Lisa Raye, Tatiyana Ali, Lauren Londan, Megan Good, Auntie Vivica, and many many more came out loking Barbie Dollish**giggles**.

Well fashion was the focus of the week with many fabulous and fly celebrity sightings from Monica to Kanye to Kimora Lee Simmons and her primo daughters, Aoki and Ming Lee. Everybody looks nice, however Monica's look is too cute!!!

Well Sassy Muffins Usher Raymond's significant other, TAMEKA FOSTER, was spotted in the airport(last pic) on her way back to the states. Her hubby flew in ahead of her by a day or so?! Not sure why and actually I could care less. Tameka suffered from ummm yeah plastic surgery gone bad before it happened. If rumors are to be considered the word on the street and on the blogs *GIGGLES* is that Meka adventured over to Brazil to have liposuction[the surgical withdrawal of excess fat from local areas under the skin by means of a small incision and vacuum suctioning]done. I'm guessing because she didn't want the media to know and probably because she just had a baby?! Anywhos moving right along on this foolishness. Now let the church just say Amen and let us all bow our pretty little heads and weave jobs for a moment of silence.

Chris Brown has finally issued a statement through a representative in reference to his present issues with Rihanna. I haven't posted on the issue either way and probably won't go figure, however if someone issues a statement concerning the ish I'll post it. Otherwise I support both Chris and Rihanna. Below is Chris Brown's response as well as Jay Z's, who commented while at NBA All-Star Weekend.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds." ~Chris Brown

"This is a real situation,” Jay-Z informed while in Phoenix attending the Third Annual Two Kings dinner and event with BFF Lebran James.

“You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that. I just think we should all support her. She’s going through a tough time. You have to realize she’s a young girl, as well. She’s very young.”
